My Home Depot doesn't sell 6500k bulbs. 5500k is the highest. Does anyone know where else I could find a 6500k bulb?

wal mart is the cheapest. it being 5500k instead of 6500k doesnt matter at all and to be honest color spectrum is not as important as people would like to believe, ive done grows with all blue spectrum for veg and only using red spectrum for veg and it made no difference at all really. if u can get the blues you should though, along with some red spectrum, use a ratio 1 2700 42w cfl for every 2 6500k 42w bulbs for veg and switch it around for flowering, having a mixed spectrum (like the sun) produces improved grow results over just using all blue or all red spectrum.
